Type 48 Corsa Spyder - A Brief History
The Type 48 Corsa
Spyder was the
brainchild of designer
Alan Hooper. His dream
was to create a one-off
sports car with all the
nostalgia of a 1940’s
racer, at only a fraction of
the cost. His creation
was this, a Triumph
Spitfire derived, GRP
bodied 40’s road-racer.

After receiving an overwhelming interest in his own car, Hooper started
supplying a self-build kit, under the banner of H.D.S, in the mid 1990’s.
After a short time, demand got too great and the car began production
under Reed Engineering, until the early 2000’s.
In 2005 Fiorano brought the Type 48 Corsa Spyder back into production,
to the delight of many. In the last four years we have been dedicated to
giving this superb design the respect it deserves.
This means a high quality finish - not a bodyshell you can see your hand
through. We have a love of the originality of the design – not a claim to
replicate another or a want to tarnish it in another manufacturers logos.
We also have a commitment to offer our customers all the help they need,
whether they need help finding a donor car or just advice on colour
combinations.
We also embrace the extraordinary with the Type 48 Corsa Spyder, as
demonstrated by a recent addition of a Jowett Jupiter based car
undertaken by one of our customers. Likewise, we will help you build your
perfect car thanks to our ever-expanding knowledge and the back up of
the very supportive Type 48 Register.
